Early on Sunday morning, a grizzly boar bear in Morrissey mauled a hunter.
The incident occurred at approximately 9 a.m. and the male victim was transported to a Calgary hospital by STARS helicopter according to the Ministry of Environment.
The victim was reportedly a hunter and his hunting partner shot at the bear to stop the attack, killing the bear in the process.
The partner was not harmed during the incident and the victim was reportedly in stable condition upon leaving the scene.
Conservation officers from Fernie and Cranbrook are continuing to investigate the scene of the incident.
